Djordjevic graduated with
honors from Berklee College of Music, where he
was accepted on a scholarship at the tender age
of 16. One of the finest musicians of our era,
Blue Note recording artist Lionel Loueke says:
“Marko is
one of the greatest drummers out there. He
possesses incredible technique, and a musical
mind to match it! I love playing with him
because he is so creative and unique!”

For more than ten years SVETI
has been the creative outlet for Djordjevic. As
the composer for SVETI, he writes music inspired
by the rich musical tradition of his Balkan
roots, but with a nod to the “Western” artists
who have influenced him; from Coltrane and
Weather Report to Zappa and the Police.
